We picked El Conquistador Resort for our family reunion and were not disappointed. We stayed in the two-bedroom casitas which gave us extra room with a small frig, microwave and dining table. It was the perfect set-up. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially Jason at the front desk. The morning breakfast was delicious with omelets cooked to order. TIP---be cautious about your driving. It seemed that every intersection had a traffic camera. And friends told us that they are cameras hidden in fake cacti. So---watch those yellow lights and don't speed through them unless you want to make a "donation" to the city's traffic enforcement budget. The outdoor pools are heated !!!

We were upgraded to a lovely room by the nicest gentleman on the front desk. Faced the mountain and was lovely! We had just come down from Sedona in search of warmer climate and were not expecting alot.

Although it is out of the way, El Conquistador is a nice and well run hotel. The location is quite beautiful right at the base of Putsch Ridge with a nice view of the surrounding area. Our room looked right up into the mountains which were gorgeous with a light dusting of snow at the top.

The grounds are well kept and the pool is conveniently located right in the middle of the property. It was too cold to swim much, but we had a good time there. We took a nice hike up the ridge from the hotel which was very convenient. The workout facilities are spacious and reasonably well equipped.

The rooms are OK. I found them to be a bit noisy at night, but I can be very sensitive to that sometimes. The view up to the mountains off of the small balcony made up for it.

We had very good service there and they went out of their way to return something to us that my daughter had accidentally left in the room. Housekeeping also did an excellent and prompt job.

Overall, I would highly recommend El Conquistador for a holiday stay in the area.

Room Tip: Loved the mountain view!

We stayed here over the Christmas holiday and had a very enjoyable experience. We found the staff to be much more attentive and friendly than our previous stay a year ago. The rooms and common areas appear to have been upgraded and in nicer condition. The Christmas buffet was super!We had a party of seven people for breakfast and we were happy to see our favorite waiter, Gino, was still there. He is so attentive, personalble and knowledgeable - he is the best! The second day we were there we were not in his section and the waiter was not attentive at all so Gino ended up bringing us everything we needed. We were lucky to have him there. The one area that the hotel needs to improve is the method of paying (or comping) breakfast. They used to give coupons which you then gave to the waiter. Now the waiter brings a bill and you have to have him change it if you are having a 'free' breakfast. This needs to be done in a better manner.

We had an absolutely wonderful time during Christmas while staying at the hotel. Everyone was so friendly and cheerful. We had a two room casita with a beautiful view of the Catalina Mountains. Each casita has a fire place equipped with a log and matches. It made for nice memories on Christmas even though we were not home.

We've stayed in several of the Catalina Foothills resorts over the years. We're U of A grads and return to the Old Pueblo to visit family and revisit our old haunts.

This was our first time at the Hilton El Conquistador, and we were very impressed with its setting on the north slopes of Pusch Ridge and the well-maintained grounds surround by native Sonoran Desert habitat.

The hotel is delightfully designed and well cared for in all respects. The individual rooms are standard - nothing too delightful but not anything wrong. Stay here for the grounds, not the rooms.

Our only complaint was the omnipresent "resort fee". This trick is getting quite old. The indignity at the El Conquistador was that their literature said directly that they charged a resort fee in response to "Customer Surveys"? Don't insult our intelligence -- please, please charge me an additional fee! Yeah, that's my usual concern - I'm not getting charged enough.

Included in the bounty brought by the fees was of course mostly things in which we had no interest. The only item on their list we used was internet access -- which most of the motels and cafes on north Oracle offer for free.

I'm continually amazed that hotels that cater to the relatively affluent stoop to such tawdry revenue enhancement schemes. I find this insulting. Charge more for each room if you must, don't resort to trickery. The Hilton demeans itself.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on our resort services fee. We’re sorry you did not find value in the offering. Our intent is to avoid “nickel & diming” guests by rolling up a broad array of high demand resort products and services in one convenient and high value package.

We’ve found that many of our guests appreciate that for $20.00 per day, they can take advantage of over $130 in products and services as follows: In-room high speed internet access (for up to 2 devices), Local & 1-800 phone calls, Two bottles of water upon arrival, 15% off massage treatments at our Elements Spa, Shuttle to Oro Valley Marketplace & Country Club, One hour use of putting green per day, One hour use of driving range per day, One hour of tennis court usage per day, Two hours of mountain bike usage per day, and Daily use of fitness facilities and classes.

Again, we appreciate your comments and will take them into consideration as we craft our future offerings.

Thank you.Lori B.Executive Assistant

Stayed in junior suite with my family of four over Christmas week. Amazing deal at only $125/night (pus resort fee). Nice room, although getting a bit dated. Very spacious. Beautiful property with pool ad slide. Golf course looked nice. Great views of mountains all the way around.
